Hello again!
Hi all! I'm back in action, for the moment. I've not been on in like 5 months! Many of you from theknot.com days of '09 are coming upon your 1 year anniversary date, myself included, and I've found time to say hello and congrats and HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY!
How are all of you? Hope all is well!
So much has happened in these past 5 months, which has strayed me away from the nest....becoming a puppy mommy to a puggle puppy, having to plan for a re-org with my company, which involves me flying to New York City next week for the re-inteview, becoming a sales rep for a body care company on the side, blogging, and just life in general! I've so missed the nest, contacts from the knot, and looking forward to being apart of bump, although I don't have anything in my bump, yet, except losing a few, which I've lost 25 lbs already! Yay!
I've been getting sentimental lately, like going to Men's Wearhouse or other places, and bridal parties are getting their attire, or hearing of bridal shower/bachelorette party planning, and I almost cry, as it was this time last year I was in that state, now I'm a married women, and that excitement won't happen again...not that I want it to, but it was so special to experience those festivities.
Enough of me, hope to hear all is well with all!
Best, Kristen 
Re: Hello again!
Hello!
I know what you mean about missing the wedding stuff. I've been married for almost 2 years and I STILL miss it! I don't almost cry about it but I def. want to do it again. lol
My SIL is engaged now so I'm trying to help her but she lives in the state of Washington so I can't really help her like I want to.
Anyways, congrats on losing 25 pounds, that's great!!!
Thanks! I lost the weight with the help of Red Mountain Med Spa, if anyone is looking for a way to help lose the pounds, I highly recommend them, although a bit of a monetary investment, but for me it was worth it. For health reasons related to thyroid I really needed to get down, and I have another 15-20 pounds to get to my goal, but I'll be content with 10, as its changed my physique so much, I wonder if my goal is necessary.
Well, I guess in helping others plan their weddings is a way to relive and help friends and loved ones really embrace the beauty of the day!
Welcome back Kristen!
Sorry to hear you're having to re-interview for your job- fingers crossed!
Congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome!
Hope the new puppy is doing well!
